Poorly weather-stripped doors will lose <br />far more heat and/or air conditioning due to infiltration of outside air than those from transmission through <br />the door. <br />Air infiltration testing <br />Tests were conducted in accordance with ASTM E 283-04 to determine the air infiltration rate of a door and <br />frame with and without weather stripping and door bottoms. <br />Terminology <br />The following terms are used to describe air infiltration around a door opening: <br />• CFM = Cubic Feet per Minute <br />• Air infiltration: a measurement of the air leakage around the perimeter of a door opening. <br />Air infiltration test results per ASTM E 283-04 <br />Door opening Door series Frame series Tested door <br />opening <br />Air <br />Infiltration <br />(cfm/sq.ft) <br />Weather stripping <br />Gasket Door bottom Astragal <br />Single Swing L, H, B, CE F, MU 4'0" x 8'0"0.64 PS074 FAS-SEAL™N/A <br />Double Swing L, H, B, CE F, MU 8'0" x 8'0"0.34 PS074 FAS-SEAL™Z Astragal <br />Home <br />General InformationFramesDoorsLights and LouversElevationsHurricaneSpecialtyHardwareFire Rated ProductsPerformanceArchitecturalVariationsVariationsTornadoDocuSign Envelope ID: 97A9508F-537F-4A89-96AD-A82F9ABD3708
